If you look around at lists of Marvel villains he consistently ranks in the top ten in most of them - Ign, Comic Vine,Another comic Vine, Newsarama. Most of the other consistent top ten have playable covers or boss events around them.

Red Skull needs some love.

I wouldn't mind a Red Skull boss, but I'd rather he not be a playable character. While he is a major Marvel villain, I don't think many people are excited about assuming the role of a top nazi.

Weeelllllll..... Marvel have been making efforts to say "He's not a nazi, he's Hydra. There's a difference you know!" but I don't think they're really fooling anyone. Can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.

Never really get that argument with mpq. Do you really assume the role? It's not like P&P where you have to sink into their pysche of Jedi succumbing to the dark side due to a dice roll or anything. It's not even like running through pvp or pve will even draw on his background really.

Do you sink in to the mind of a symbiote enhanced psycho killer when you use Carnage, megalomaniac dictator when you use Doom or a man that wants to kill all humanity when you use Mags? Did you play through Thanos', PVP thinkon I will get those stones and kill half the universe! I never really assume the role. Was more worried about health packs and accidentally triggering half-health Thor.

I'd agree if the game had any real level of role play. If was anything else than downing fictional heroes I'd totally agree though. I most probably wouldn't play any of the above.

In many of his comic portrayals Red Skull seems to have no problem with Nazi ideology, genocide, ethnic cleansing, etc. Even if he isn't technically a Nazi, many of the objections still seem to apply.

While you can argue that Thanos is worse, I guess he gets a pass because he is so far beyond what any human has or could do. He also doesn't have the stigma of trying to get people to spend money to collect a Nazi.

If you retcon Red Skull then you have to retcon Captain America. Cap was created as a counter-propaganda to The Red Skull. We all know that Cap's crowning moment is punching Nazi's in the face.

The Skull was originally indirectly responsible for the creation of Hydra as he was the one who sent Baron Strucker to Japan to start work on a subversive organisation that could carry on the Nazi's work in the far east with the Skull as head of the organisation but it was Strucker who founded Hydra and then cut his ties with the Skull.

I'd also like a ton of characters that have no chance of making the game like Darkhawk, Night Thrasher, Sleepwalker, Speedball, etc.

And Dazzler. Seriously.

I'd have said we will almost certainly get Night Thrasher and other New Warriors once the tv show launches, but it sounds like they are having trouble getting a network to pick up the pilot. I'm 80% sure that we'll get an announcement that it was "rescued" by the soon-to-launch all Disney streaming service.

I agree we need more villains, I particularly want vintage villains with hilarious vintage art (like 5* Dock Ock) and I'm hopeful we'll get Mysterio with Homecoming 2. I would love it if for every 2-3 heroes released in an affiliation, we got 1 villain release with the opposing affiliation.

Just as a point of trivia, we have a Hydra Henchmen support that can be put on any villain, but is there even a villain with a connection to them in the game? If you don't want to do Red Skull, you could dip into Agents of Shield and get like Absorbing man or something

I rather see that the devs focus on update the old characters thats out dated. A lot of characters in this game just collect dust like an old trophy in the back of your cabinet. You might bring them out when boosted but thats it. They really need some love from the devs. With that said i still wait for Mysterio to enter the land of Marvel Puzzle Quest.

My objection of Red Skull as a playable character instead of a boss is that this game has Essential characters for events. I personally wouldn't roster him, but it is also a PR problem waiting to happen for them that a Skull PVP would be "forcing players to play a nazi".

But other games have playable Red Skull like Strike Force and Future Fight. Academy has a recruitable Zemo. Haven't heard any outcry over there. Why would there be one here?

Eh, the MCU version of Red Skull would likely be the one they went with, given the game's past character release history, so since the first Cap movie went out of its way to show the Red Skull breaking Hydra away from any affiliation with Nazi Germany, I kind of feel this is a non-issue.
